Our Active Star: July 15, 2011

– Location: Lith, the Netherlands
– Date: 15-7-2011
– Media: pencil sketch on white paper

The sky was very clear today. So I aimed my Coronado Personal Solar Telescope (P.S.T.) at the Sun.
Our star was pretty active. I could see some sunspots and a few prominences.

The first sketch is a simple drawing of the disk of the Sun. You can see the sunspots and prominences.
The other two sketches are from the same prominence, in the lower left of the sun’s disk.

Thanks for watching!
